Chapter: 301
Theodore calmly moved to one of the empty seats on the side, absolutely silent. He had a rough idea of what would happen next, so he decided to have a front row seat to the show.
Darian presided over the meeting. He went straight to the point and declared, “Theodore, you now have a leg problem. You're not in good health and you no longer have the energy to properly manage the company. It’s about time you retire at home.”
Theodore sat lazily in his seat and smiled casually. “What if | say no?” Darian sighed. “Then we follow the procedure. Let's all vote.”
At this point, Darian didn’t try to hide his intentions anymore. Theodore wasn’t surprised at all as he nonchalantly looked at all the shareholders present. Those who raised their hands didn’t dare to look him in the eye. Instead, they lowered their heads and raised their hands in silent agreement.
As expected, half of the shareholders raised their hands. Counting in Jasper, Darian had obtained the majority of the votes. His eyes sparkled with joy. He was full of determination to win this time.
Meanwhile, Jasper could hardly retain his composure. He sneered at Theodore and asked, “Are you happy now? You wouldn’t have found yourself in such an awkward position if you had just left earlier.”
‘Theodore remained silent, as if he didn’t care about the final decision at all.
“It’s fine. It'll be great just waiting at home all day until the money arrives. Why do you bother keeping yourself busy and ending up being a cripple?” Darian asked, failing miserably at pretending to be a caring father.
“In that case, let's unveil the final decision and make it official.” Jasper couldn’t wait. He would love to see Theodore defeated. “Then let's announce it,” Darian hinted at his assistant.
But at that moment, the door suddenly flew open as a beaming man walked through it. To everyone’s surprise, it was the vice president of the BRD Group, Adrian. “Wait a minute. | haven't voted yet.”
Apart from Theodore, everyone was shocked by Adrian’s arrival. He sat calmly in his seat as if Adrian’s presence was natural.
It was not Jasper’s first time meeting Adrian, and some encounters were unpleasant. As such, he had a deep impression of Adrian and could instantly recognize him.
As he never expected to meet Adrian at the Anderson Group, he exclaimed in surprise, “Mr. Perkins, why are you here?” Adrian ignored his question and only replied with a smile before pulling a seat next to Theodore and sitting down.
Darian’s face darkened immediately from the unexpected intrusion. He was so close to success. He didn’t expect any outsiders to waltz into the middle of a shareholders’ meeting.
Besides, he recognized the intruder and was troubled by his presence. Adrian Perkins was no simpleton.
Adrian was capable and worked for Holden, the CEO of the BRD Group. He wouldn't be easily fooled.
Darian remembered how Zayden Fredrick, the former CEO of the BRD Group, was suddenly dismissed and how Holden’s sudden appearance as CEO caused an uproar in the business circle.
No one had ever heard of Holden before. There were only rumors that he was Aldus’ long-lost grandson.
With a sudden change in leadership and Holden’s connection to Aldus, no one in the BRD Group was convinced that Holden could rise to his role.
